Chapter 897 Waiting for someone

Watching the stowaway boat disappear into the night, the village chief standing on the pier smiled, and returned to the house with his hands behind his back humming a traditional ditty of the Gualt people. He cleaned up the things on the table, then took out a bottle of wine from the innermost part of the cupboard, took one piece of dried salted fish hanging under the eaves of the house, steamed it in the pot for a while, spread dry sauce on it Celery leaves, while drinking strong wine, eating fish.

After taking a sip of strong wine, his body quickly warmed up. When he thought that these guests had already boarded the ship, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty, but of course he was more happy.

He knew the boss from three years ago.

Three years ago, his wife had a serious illness and needed money urgently. He asked many people from the local compatriots to borrow money, but in the end they couldn't make up enough money for the operation. When he was almost about to give up in the face of despair, a gentleman appeared in front of him and not only helped him pay for his wife's medical expenses, but also sponsored an additional fee for him to buy a fishing boat and go to sea. He is very grateful to this gentleman. Although he has never met, his gratitude is definitely not fake. This gentleman saved him who was in despair at the time, and gave him the courage and hope to continue living.

Later, his wife still died, even if he had enough medical expenses, it didn't help. Less than half a year after the successful operation, he died on the hospital bed. The doctor told him that although the operation was very successful, the cancer cells spread too fast, coupled with a series of complicated reasons such as old age and frailty, he could not survive in the end and died of organ failure.

After his wife died, he was depressed for a while. Fortunately, they had a child. The child became his sustenance and motivation for the rest of his life. Everything he did was to make the child have better living conditions. In the past few years, the entire federal society has been thriving, business has been particularly prosperous, and all walks of life have greatly improved. Although he won't make a fortune relying on fishing, it is enough to support the family's operations, and he still has some spare money.

His child finished his studies last year, and when he didn't know how to choose a job for a while, he found the middleman who had helped the gentleman pass the message and asked if he could let his child work for the gentleman. After waiting for a few days, the other party rejected the request, but gave him a new option, which was to let his children join the Atlantic Group company. That is the Atlantic Group Company. Who in the entire federation does not know that the Atlantic Group Company is a new big consortium, and even the leader, Mr. Albert, has become a member of Parliament, which shows that the future of the Atlantic Group Company is limitless.

The child successfully became a member of the Atlantic Group company. Not to mention the success in work, he also reaped love. Everything seemed to be developing for the best. His life became more leisurely, and of course he was still a little lonely .

If there are no accidents, he may continue to live an ordinary life, sell everything when he can't do it, move in with his children, and then watch his children get married and have children, enjoying the family happiness. I will grow old quietly in the years, until I face death, let ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Maybe I haven't done anything remarkable and vigorous in this life, but isn't this just the life of an ordinary person? It doesn't need to be exciting, just be satisfied!

The sudden explosion of the financial market during this period has brought too many changes to the society of the Federation. Even a fisherman living by the sea knows that as long as he invests money in the financial market, he can definitely make money. Of course, he is just a fisherman, even if others tell him that this is a 100% profitable business, he may not know how to do it. Until one day his son suggested that he also invest in financial products,

It was only when he realized this.

His son works for the Atlantic Group, which is currently the consortium with the most potential for development. With more than a year of hard work, he has more or less entered the sight of middle management and has been reused to a certain extent. Naturally, he also knows that some outsiders are not Clear "inside information". After grasping the market for two rounds, the kid decided to share the secret with his lonely father, so that he could spend his old age happily instead of going fishing all day.

The old man has worked hard all his life, and he should enjoy the rest of his life.

Under the persuasion of his son, he invested all his savings in the financial market, and with the help of his son, he also mortgaged his fishing boat to the bank. The unprecedentedly prosperous financial market has brought quite generous returns. Seeing the money in his account increasing obviously every day makes him unable to close his mouth. He never knew that there is such an easy life in this world. Work that makes money.

Just when he was about to move out of here, the financial tsunami broke out. All the savings of him and his son were overturned and submerged in an instant. What's more troublesome is that his son not only mortgaged all his assets to the bank, but also embezzled part of the company's funds by taking advantage of his position. In fact, this kind of thing has happened before. Large companies have many names in terms of capital flow. At the same time, they also have a settlement date like banks. Only on the settlement date can they find some problems. The settlement cycle of the Atlantic Consortium is calculated on a quarterly basis and settled every three months. As long as the gap is filled before the settlement date, there will be no problem.

The madness of the financial market some time ago was enough for them to safely use this money to make more money for themselves.

In other words, their father and son are now penniless, and they are also suspected of embezzlement of public funds, which is a crime!

In the past, a small amount of misappropriation would not have been seen at all, and there was plenty of time for them to raise money. The problem was that the Atlantic Consortium was suddenly exposed as a scam. The FBI and the Financial Management Committee began a comprehensive investigation of the Atlantic Consortium. This was quite troublesome, because his son had to investigate the money he had misappropriated Before, fill in all the gaps. In addition, there are still many problems to be solved.

At such a desperate time, the gentleman who once contacted him hoped that he could find a boat to take an important friend away from here, as long as he went to the high seas. For this reason, the gentleman was willing to pay 10,000 federal guilders as a bridge for him to help Xie Jin.

People who eat by the sea by the sea are more or less connected with those who eat another bowl of rice by the sea. In many cases, the stowaways will send those people to places where there are no patrols here according to the requirements of customers. This small Fishing Village is one of them.

He contacted the smuggling boat and talked about the matter here. Ten thousand federal guilders is just a drop in the bucket for his current situation, but even so, ten thousand dollars is better than no money. It's just that he didn't know that the contagion brought by the financial frenzy of the whole people is definitely not comparable to an ordinary thing. The captain of the stowaway boat owed a sum of money because of this, and he also needed money. After inquiring about the relevant matters, the captain suddenly had an unexpected idea-kidnapping.

Since this gentleman is rich, it must not be too difficult to solve their current difficulties. Why not let this rich gentleman continue to use his generous nature to help them end their financial troubles?

They don't need much, they just want a large sum of money that is enough for them to enjoy their lives, and they don't intend to hurt this gentleman, as long as he cooperates.

At first he disagreed, he felt that doing so was against his conscience, but under the captain's persuasion, he gradually wavered in the face of his son's plight. Yes, it's just a little money, and not a lot. Given how rich and generous this gentleman is, he probably won't mind. Maybe the methods they used were not so upright, but isn't there no way? Without this money, the rest of his life will be very dark. He will become one of the street bums, and his children may go to jail for embezzling company funds.

On the one hand, he lived a gloomy second half of his life, and on the other hand, he was condemned by his conscience but was able to spend his old age peacefully. After thinking about it all night, he agreed with the captain's idea and formulated a very simple but effective plan.

They plan to pull these people closer to the open sea, and then a "pirate ship" will appear, and they will all become captives. The captain and others will be "killed" by cruel pirates because they have no money to redeem themselves. The rich gentleman will definitely take out the money for his own life. As soon as they get the money, they will leave immediately. As for this gentleman and his entourage, they can be handed over to the patrol team. They will definitely take good care of this rich gentleman. After all, in the Federation, money is the only eternity!

Looking up at the time, he didn't know how things were going, so he frowned and took another sip of wine. According to the time, he should be about to encounter the pirate ship by now, right?

Thinking of this, he felt a little guilty. Others helped him, but he used this way to repay others, which indeed conflicted with his beliefs and his inner morality.

If it weren't for this world..., alas!

Du Lin also couldn't imagine that such a thing happened by chance, but what he didn't expect was even more unexpected, so he escaped a catastrophe.

Immediately after his disappearance, Mr. Sail asked the army and navy to completely freeze the border. Now in the federal waters, the patrol boats are patrolling almost continuously.

At this moment, Du Lin suddenly understood that something was wrong, and he looked up at the light bulb on the top of the cockpit—light!

Savi can see the people on the boat clearly without boarding the boat. Turning on all the lights at night will not have any second meaning other than telling others that there is a boat here. It is impossible for any stowaway to turn on all the lights at night, and even turn off the engine to keep silent when necessary.

Who are they signaling to?

Du Lin's eyes fell on the captain again, and a smile appeared on his face, "Mr. Captain, can you tell me who you are waiting for?"
